Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Brew a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method. Allow it to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Soak the Ladyfingers

    Dip each ladyfinger quickly into the brewed coffee, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in a 9x13 inch dish.

  3. 3

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Whip the Heavy Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined and fluffy.

  5. 5

    Layer the Mixture

    Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers in the dish. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  6. 6

    Chill the Tiramisu

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder and sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings. Slice and serve chilled.
